<h3>The salary of Perry if inflation is 6.5 % is $ 32617.475</h3>

<em><u>Solution:</u></em>

Given that,

Perry made $34,885 this year

The inflation rate was 6.5 percent

To find: Salary worth if inflation rate was 6.5 percent

From given,

Inflation rate = 6.5%

Therefore,

Worth of salary due to inflation = 100 % - 6.5 % = 93.5 %

Money earned in this year by Perry = $ 34, 885

Therefore,

Worth of Perry salary due to inflation = 34,885 x 93.5%

\text{Worth of Perry salary due to inflation }= 34885 \times \frac{93.5}{100}\\\\\text{Worth of Perry salary due to inflation }= 34885 \times 0.935\\\\\text{Worth of Perry salary due to inflation }= 32617.475

Thus the salary of Perry if inflation is 6.5 % is $ 32617.475

The number of carbon atoms in a fossil is given by the function y= 5100(0.95)^x where x represents the number of years since bei
natita [175]

Answer:

This is a guess!

When looking at the given equation I can not help but think of compound interest. So I am going to convert this into that format.

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Within the context of financial interest:

Looking for:

P

(

1

−

x

)

n

Where P is the principle sum,

x

is the interest and n is the number of interest cycles (annual)

'~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Given:

y

=

5100

(

0.95

)

x

But

0.95

=

1

−

0.05

so we have

y

=

5100

(

1

−

0.05

)

x

But

.

0.05

=

5

100

So we have

y

=

5100

(

1

−

5

100

)

x

Thus the percentage change each year is

−

5

%

Find the midpoint between −18 and 52.
Mama L [17]
Finding the midpoint between two points on a line involves three steps:

1. Find the distance between the two points
2. Find half of that distance
3. Either add that half to the lowest point, or subtract it from the highest point.

To find the distance between 52 and -18, we can take the absolute value of their difference. The reason we take the absolute value is to force the sign to be positive, since distances can never be negative. -18 - 52 = -70, and |-70| = 70.

Second, we find half of that distance, which in this case would be 70/2 = 35.

Finally, we add that value to -18 to find a midpoint of -18 + 35 = 17.
